Abstract :
The authors measure and calculate the optical properties of strong (δn/n~10-3) in-core optical fiber phase gratings written by the UV laser sidewriting technique. A pronounced fine structure on the main reflection peak is observed and explained, along with a short wavelength loss associated with radiation mode coupling, modulated by cladding effects
